Lovers spat with my TiVo

Every strong, quality relationship, from time to time, is beset with arguments. So it was last night with one of my closest relationships.

I had a fight with my TiVo.

I know, I know. Everyone who knows me knows that I usually have nothing but praise for my TiVo. We’re such a great couple. How could we be fighting? After all, TiVo changed my life. I no longer watch commercials and now look at the rest of the world and wonder how they can bear to watch television without TiVo.

But last night we had a bit of a row. You see, TiVo didn’t record Lost. TiVo, who knows me so well, recorded The West Wing instead of Lost. I want to see both The West Wing and Lost. Lost, for those of us in the central time zone, is on from 7-8 and The West Wing is on from 8-9. So this shouldn’t be a problem.

The bastards at ABC, though, scheduled Lost from 7-8:02 and TiVo, realizing that there was an overlap, just recorded The West Wing because it thought The West Wing was a higher priority.

I know I can’t stay mad. TiVo’s heart was in the right place. And every relationship has the occasional tiff. Right?
